PLANET The project will contribute to a sustainable harvesting of seaweed in Greenland and a sustainable utilization of maritime resources.
PEOPLE Seaweed harvesting can potentially support the local community by creating job opportunities in the coastal societies.
PROSPERITY The mapping of seaweed resources will show the large potential of innovation and development of local business opportunities in seaweed harvesting.
